Description

The remains of the Priest's House, located about 8 meters north-northwest of the west end of St Leonard's Church, date back to around 1300. Currently, only the walls remain, with some sections incorporated into a garage, which is not included in the listing. The structure features knapped flint with Caen stone dressings. The main wall measures approximately 10 meters in length and stands about 4 meters high, with a shorter parallel wall to the north and the garage situated at the west end. The southern wall, which faces the churchyard, contains the remnants of a trefoil-headed lancet window at first-floor level, as well as a square-headed opening below it to the east. At the time of the survey in May 1989, the western end of the wall was obscured by ivy and was generally in poor condition. Historically, several medieval buildings were located near the churchyard but were removed during the 18th century.
